Chandler is a single, business
executive who does data processing
(“data configuration & statistical
factoring“) for a large unnamed
multinational firm. His job involves
checking out his ANUS (Annual Net
Usage Statistics) and WENUS (Weekly
Estimated Net Usage Statistics).

An unrelenting jokester [he uses jokes as a
defense mechanism when he's uncomfortable],
Chandler first shared his apartment with a guy
named Kip (who ran off to get married) and then
with Joey Tribianni, a dim-witted, but loveable
struggling actor. They are close friends with
Monica Geller and Rachel Green who live across
the hall in apartment #20 [earlier seen as #5].
The mailing label on Chandler's TV Guide
subscription [which the girls often steal] reads
c/o "Miss Chanandeler Bong."

Chandler met Monica through her paleontologist
brother, Ross Geller who roomed with Chandler in
college in the 1980s. It was Chandler's rude
remark about Monica being fat years earlier,
that motivated Monica to change her eating
habits and loose a ton of weight. Becoming a
chef, Monica turned her passion for food, to
cooking it for other people rather than eating
it herself.

When Chandler speaks, he put emphasis on certain
words in the sentence. For example, "That is SO
not true!" "Could I BE more wrong" or "How many
cameras are ON you?" (in reference to Monica
remarks that the video camera makes a person
look five pounds heavier when shooting their
image.)

For relaxation, Chandler visits the local cafe
called Central Perk to hang out with his friends
where he orders coffee with 2 Equals and one
cream. Otherwise, he can be found at Monica's
apartment or sitting for hours with his roommate
Joey in their lounge chairs and watching TV
shows filled with sexy babes from Baywatch,
Wonder Woman and Xena: Warrior Princess.
Chandler and Joey jointly cared for a pet duck
and a chicken [named “Little Jasmine” after
Yasmine Bleeth on Baywatch].

As to his ancestry, Chandler is half Swedish and
half Scottish. When Monica asked “Where do you
come from?” Chandler replied “My grandfather is
Swedish and my grandmother is a tiny little
bunny.“ Chandler’s father is gay (he appears in
an all-male review called “Viva La Gayness”) and
his mother, Nora [an alcoholic blond who chases
20-year-old boys] wrote the classic pulp novel
Mistress Bitch. Her maiden name is Tyler. Nora
is the one who bought Chandler his first condoms
which she indiscreetly told the world while on
an interview segment of The Tonight Show with
Jay Leno. Nora also kissed Ross which caused a
storm of controversy with Chandler when he found
out. Their friendship, however, survived the
incident.

Chandler:

If I'm gonna be an old, lonely man, I'm gonna need a
thing, you know, a hook, like that guy on
the subway who eats his own face. So I
figure I'll be Crazy Man with a Snake,
y'know. Crazy Snake Man. And I'll get more
snakes, call them my babies, kids will
walk past my place, they will run. "Run
away from Crazy Snake Man!," they will
shout.

In his youth, Chandler attended a boarding
school with 400 boys. Unfortunately, Chandler's
fastidious clothing and bouncy mannerisms made
people think he was gay. But he was not -
although he has a "quality." Chandler’s favorite
book as a child was “The Velveteen Rabbit.”
Unlike other kids who cut the lawn to earn
allowance money, Chandler earned his money by
plucking the eyebrows of his father and his
business partners. Once Chandler entered a
Vanilla Ice look-a-like contest and won.

Oddly, Chandler was born with three nipples.
Because his "Nubbin" [what he called it] was
such a curiosity, when people learned of the
third nipple, they asked questions like "What's
it shaped like?", "Is there a hair on it?" and
"Can you flick it?" Tired of such questions,
Chandler got creative and told them "Pressure on
the third nipple opens the delivery entrance to
magical land of Narnia." He later had the
‘nubbin’ removed.
